| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated the effects of electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) for the prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) using home-use EMSs. Methods: The maximum flow velocities of the popliteal and femoral veins were measured in 20 healthy volunteers before, 2 minutes after, and 10 minutes after starting the EMS. Results: The maximum flow velocity of the popliteal and femoral veins increased significantly after 10 minutes of EMS working (p<0.01). Conclusion: Wearing EMS increased the maximum flow velocity and improved blood flow in the lower extremities.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
下肢に国内で販売されている家庭用の簡易式EMSを装着することで、下肢血流改善が実証できた。このことは、本来、深部静脈血栓症の予防器具との相性が悪く、十分な予防ができなかった入院患者への、新たな予防器具の有用性を示唆できたと考えられる。
